How to do everything wrong and still come out ahead…

Misc.

Well, my cold has returned in full force. All the smoke in our atmosphere from the fires isn’t helping, either. I’m so tired of being the Snot Queen…

My grandpa requested respite care for my grandmother last week, and he’s seeming so much better rested – but she comes home tomorrow and the social worker for hospice said that Grandma is worse than when she went in and that there is no way he’ll be able to provide care for her. So…I guess we’re back to where we were a few months ago with Mom being home. Except now it’s my grandmother and I’m just going to say it – she hasn’t always been the most charming person to hang out with so my "want to" is much less evolved than it was with my mom. Much, much less.

This all brings me back to a conversation I had with Mom shortly before she died. She asked me how long she’d been sick and living with me. I told her "about 6 months." She laughed and said, "I wonder what you did to draw this karma."
